[laughter] >> sort of spices up the meeting. >> for us, i think the most important thing we are offering is something quintessentially san francisco. something that they cannot find anywhere else. we have two fetish fares in san francisco. there are only three other cities in the world that do that. new york, toronto, and berlin. i have been to all three and th

bodies we are about to make appointments to and thank you for your sacrifice, time, and energy. today we get to recognize you. tomorrow, people will start yelling at you. it is part of that process. it is one we cherish no matter what body we're on. i know former mayor willie brown is here. i want to thank him for constantly being a support to all of our commissions and for being here today. i want to recognize each and everyone of you today by asking you to stand and be recognized as i call your commission and name out. for the board of appeals, we have an lazarus. joshua, thank you for being here. for the construction and workforce advisory committee, a body i helped to establish as city administrator, this body is going to be important for us because in our economic recovery we need to work better with our construction companies to make sure everybody has a chance to work in our city. bob alvarado, thank you for being here and part of it. ed riskin, thank you for stepping up again. florence, thank you. harland kelly, our general manager to be. thank you. kent, thank you for stepping u

real possibility of $5 gas is very, very simple. import non-carb gas. >> california energy commission can allow non-carb gasoline, gasoline that doesn't meet the california standard to be sold in california. >> reporter: in fact, it was authorized once before. just a few percent of non-carb gas brought to california would quickly lower prices. >>> to find the least expensive gas in the area where you live, go to our website, ktvu.com. click on the business tab, then choose consumer from the drop-down menu. >>> a new study says the national abortion rate will plummet if women at risk for accidental pregnancies got the birth control of their choice at no cost. the researchers enrolled 9000 women in what was called the contraceptive choice project. many participants were poor and had no insurance and low education. the abortion rate for every 1000 women in the study was less than 8. that is much lower than the national rate of 20 abortions for every 1000 women. the study was conducted between 2008 and 2010 at washington university school of medicine in st. louis. >>> a new warning tonigh

gallery of public works. part of the energy of the venue comes from having that art gallery. having a small workshop with a few resident artists who work on art during the day. it provides a certain energy. when that moves on to the

, new energy, biomedicine, electronics, information industry, agriculture, and high and manufacturing. mayor lee echoed positive statements to our proposal before we came to this seminar. we had a very good meeting with mayor lee. he and san francisco will give us positive and strong support. i would like to say thanks to mayor lee. we also -- always believed san francisco is an important port and trade and cultural center in the western part of the united states. it has a long history of business and cultural exchange with china. as i come to san francisco this time, i have some new feelings. i have been to san francisco many times but no time like this time that makes me more convinced that both sides share a stronger desire for corp. and no time like this time that i sense -- for cooperation. there are nmany opportunities in front of us, especially in the field of infrastructure. as i said this time, i have a delegation of 100 people coming from 40 companies. many of them in fact specialize in infrastructure field. the closely followed -- they have been closely following the projec

place to live and less polluted place to live, as may it in transportation, management of energy, in san francisco and in paris, there are innovations that are certainly ahead of many other cities in the world and i want to learn from san francisco and of course paris is there for the san francisco team, may it be a development of electric transportation or automobiles or [inaudible] or the reuse of energy of heat to heat private buildings or public building by using waste water, i explained to mayor lee that a couple of years now, i worked with bill clinton on the isolation of public buildings and specifically schools so that every year, we could renovate 100 schools in paris and the children are in heated rooms but where we don't waste energy. these are subjects on which we have a lot of common ambition and where we'd like to exchange our dynamic efforts between san francisco and paris. but what would be a cooperation between san francisco and paris without culture? in san francisco, there's so much talent, so much genius, so much creation of cultural events that i want to open my

nobody ever went there to network. they went out there to give their energy, imagination, their heart to something. >> there is that collaboration, the cross-disciplinary thing that happens out there, but i also feel like there is a bit of a sense of competition. people are trying to outdo each other, try to outdo each other trt impressive thing. >> that is human nature. i read a few years ago somebody complaining, i remember the good old days. you could put up a pink flamingo in front of your tent and it was cool. now with all of these big projects, i feel few tile -- futile. well, they learned the wrong lesson. the interesting thing is, people say that they are connected, but in an environment like that, it is easy to get connected. it is easy to get help. unless you insist on being the leader, you will find something to join. that is what my whole career has been, basically. >> speaking of your career, how did it all start? there are several different versions of the story. some people said it was a sled that was lost that inspired the whole thing. >> it was rosebud. [laughter] it

, there's more activity. the molecules are jiggling faster. they have more energy of motion. we got a name for energy of motion. what do we call it? - kinetic energy. - kinetic energy. there's more kinetic energy in the molecules in a hot cup of coffee than a-- you know that. that's what it means to say that something's hot, that it has more energy. we might say more thermal energy. more strictly speaking, we'll say more internal energy, more energy internal to the system. so there's much more internal energy in a hot cup of coffee than a cold cup of coffee. what's got more internal energy, a hot cup of coffee or an iceberg floating down at the antarctica? check your neighbor for an estimate. a humongous iceberg or a small hot cup of coffee: which has the more internal energy? all the energy combined-- what would it be, gang? yeah, the iceberg is frozen. how many say the hot cup of coffee still has more kinetic energy of all those molecules and those zillions and zillions-- come on, no, it's the other way around, gang. [laughter] it turns out there's more internal energy in the humong

and energy efficiency projects. there is an amount set aside for those. it is actually part of the hetch hetchy revenue, it is paid for out of those funds. >> so this is p.u.c. funding, basically the ratepayer dollars going to pay for the solar project. >> yes, sir. >> is it available for all schools or was this a one-off exception? >> no. we actually entered into a master license agreement with the school district. so there is a program that is available for other schools. this is a ten-year license agreement with the school district, so there is a ten-year window where we can scout out other schools that might be available to do this. unfortunately our funding is limited. we used to have funding around the $6 million a year for renewable projects. it is now declining to about $1 to $2 million a year range. there will be a limited number of schools we can support. however there is another piece of good news. that is that this transbay cable funds that can also be available. so we will be getting $2 million in revenue, the city will, from the transbay cable project. that can be all
